Chapter 15: Porto Soli belongs only to the Temple
Currido was depressed, and yesterday he was happy to hear that the general had arranged for pirates to attack Port Sori, because he was able to clean up that heretical religion that did not believe in Allah. But today he heard that the Soma pirates had been wiped out, and that more than a dozen Soma pirates had been burned at the stake, allowing the heretical religion to firmly establish its position in Porto Sori.
Currido cheered himself up, he had to bring down the religion, and he handed it to the Pope of Islam, and from then on he believed that he could have a temple of his own and live a better life from now on.
Standing outside the door of General Bailey, this general's mansion is very simple, not as luxurious as the general's mansion in the national period of country Z, in the country of Soma, the general's mansion is just a single building with a large area, of course, compared to the people of Soma, this general's mansion is so luxurious that it can no longer be luxurious.
The general's palace is very well equipped, and it is also extravagant enough to bathe in pure water, which is more important than food in this water-scarce country, let alone pure water. Of course, these things will only be known to people inside the General's Mansion, and once the matter is spread, it will cause public indignation.
Currido knocked on General Bailey's door and waited for a while before a voice came from inside to let him in.
As soon as he entered General Bailey's room, Currido frowned slightly, because the pink of the Spring Palace in the room made him a little afraid to look at it, and he hurriedly said Allah in his heart.
"Say!" Bailey was already dressed, he looked up at Currido, wanted to hear what the man in front of him was going to say, only from the arrival of this Isist he felt that his luck was very bad, one moment the residents of Porto Soli threw themselves into the temple, the next moment he got the news that the pirates he hired were all wiped out, he didn't care whether the Soma pirates were alive or dead, and also helped him solve a problem in disguise. But what made him unhappy was that the other party's position had been completely firmly established in the hearts of the residents of Sori.
"General, if you lead troops to attack the port of Sori, I think it is still too late, I will use the other party as a devil as a reason, and under the witness of Allah, you will be a general who destroys the devil." When the time comes, do you still need to think about the hearts of the entire Soma? Currido smiled and said that this was the kind of rhetoric he had already wanted to say.
Of course, he is not lying, the Isist religion has a very strong influence in East Africa and the Allah region, so when he is a devout Isist under the banner of eradicating the devil, it will cause an uproar in the entire Soma country, and as the main force of this eradication of the demon, General Bailey will naturally be loved by the entire Soma people.
Bailey thought about it and felt that this Jihua was indeed feasible, he was not satisfied with being a warlord all his life, and his goal was to become a king of Soma in his lifetime. And with the help of a devout Islamist, it will undoubtedly make his name much better. Of course, what he values more is what this Isist can achieve in the future, and the higher the status of the other party in the Isist Church, the more he will benefit.
As for whether the other party could help him, he didn't believe much about this, how much of an Isist could help? It's just that he can't say anything when he sees the other party so confident, of course, it's also haode to be able to have such confidence, at least it can make him feel a lot more at ease.
"Very good, I will send 10,000 troops this afternoon." My lieutenant will take you with me! Bailey agreed.
……
Port Solri experienced yesterday's divine punishment. Today all the inhabitants of Soli have begun to pray, and three prayers in the morning, noon and evening are necessary for them. In order to please the gods and prevent the horrors of yesterday from returning.
Everywhere in Porto Sori you can see believers preaching their beliefs, each of them expounding the teachings to their relatives and friends, so that they can better understand the teachings and thus feel and get closer to the gods. It's all built on the fact that they don't have to worry about living on their own. Once a month, the temple gave them enough food and supplies to live, especially when they became more religious and their faith level increased, and they deeply felt the benefits of this kind of welfare for the believers.
They found that with daily prayer, they received more food in a month than they could buy in a month of hard work. Naturally, you will choose the most haode.
With the extra time to pray, the quality of the faith naturally improves.
Divine blessing jihua is not limited to this, this is a development of African resources, the use of such a huge land of resources in Africa to allow the church to quickly accumulate wealth, so as to expand faster, to feed the war in an alternative way.
After the prayers after dinner, the inhabitants of Soli Harbor began to leisurely go about the rest of the day's work, the temple was collecting pearls, and they received the favor of the temple as believers, and voluntarily contributed these pearls that they thought were like stones. Another job is to catch fish as a meat for tomorrow. In the past, they did not dare to eat fish, because there was a special department to manage it, and a large part of the fish harvested every day had to be handed over, but now the temple has abolished this rule. It's a pity that Soma still has no fishing grounds, so there are not too many fish to get every day.
Suddenly, the inhabitants who were harvesting pearls and fishing suddenly felt a violent shaking of the ground, and when they looked up, they saw a black army coming towards them. They didn't panic in the slightest, after yesterday's pirate invasion, it seemed to them that these armies could not do anything in this Solri Harbor anyway, everything has a temple.
……
On the observation deck of the temple, Zhang Xiaojian, Lei Luo, who had become the protagonist, and Zhou Jue, the protagonist in red, looked at the army, and Zhang Xiaojian asked, "How do you think we can defeat this army?" ”
"Your Majesty, I think Burville should be allowed to deal with this army, Burville has tens of thousands of soldiers in his hands, and with the arms we have given to the other side these days, I don't think it will be a problem." Zhou Jue thought for a while and immediately replied.
Lei Luo shook his head, "Although Your Majesty General Burville has joined the Church, he has not declared it to the outside world, so it is still up to us now, once the Church wins, then the prestige of the Church will be unprecedentedly enhanced, and it can also take the territory of Port Sori from the mouth of the warlords in one fell swoop." ”
Zhang Xiaojian listened to the answers of the two and nodded, the two of them were not wrong, one said it was very reasonable, in fact, the operation was very simple, it only needed to be handed over to others to do, and it would not cause any loss to the church, and the other seemed a little risky, but once the victory was over, the benefits would be incalculable.
After a while, Zhang Xiaojian made a decision, his thoughts were similar to Lei Luo's, but they were slightly different.
"Then let's do as Lei Luo proposed, yesterday Burville handed over a thousand soldiers to us, and yesterday I arranged the baptism, how many people have completed the baptism so far?" Zhang Xiaojian looked at General Bailey's army, which was getting closer and closer.
"His Majesty has completed five hundred, and this is the greatest baptism success of a priest currently in the temple!" Zhou Jue replied.
"Well, that's good, in that case, send them!" Zhang Xiaojian stroked the pope's robe, but a gleam appeared in his eyes.
Zhou Jue's face was puzzled for a while, although these soldiers had good strength after baptism, but in the face of tens of thousands of soldiers with guns in their hands, this was a bit too exaggerated, but when he saw the heavy look on the face of the Pope's crown, he couldn't even veto the decision of the Pope's crown, so he had to go down to implement it, "I just hope that my lord can send down miracles!" ”
……
On the southern border of Port Sori, tens of thousands of troops belonging to Bailey have arrived, but such military discipline is not rigorous, but they are all soldiers who have experienced blood and rain, soldiers who have survived the battlefield, so they have a lot of actual combat experience.
Standing in front of the border, Currido shouted: "Under the gaze of Allah, these devils will sooner or later reveal their prototypes and turn to ashes under the sun, Allah is the only God Almighty, and the god that this cult believes in is a devil, oh! O man who has been lost in his nature! Open your eyes and see how vicious these demons are! Don't be fooled! ”
Under this slogan, it does play a very morale-boosting role.
The inhabitants of Sori on the other side of the border looked hateful, disgusted by the gods who had insulted their faith. If the temple is the devil, then what have these warlords done for them? Nothing, no grace, no happiness, nothing but endless pain.
Recalling every war in the past, and letting their former relatives and friends die one by one, makes them hate and disdain those warlords even more.
"Ridiculously ridiculous!" One of the residents said loudly, his eyes wide and his chest puffed out, not afraid even if the other man did shoot, because he believed that the god Tulo would let him enter the dreamlike kingdom of God because of his piety.
"You!" Currido had been respected by people in these days, and there was no room for anyone to deny his words, so he took a step forward, realizing that a soldier had pointed a gun at the resident of Sori, and he smiled and said: "You have been deceived too deeply by the devil, Allah is the only God, and everything else is evil!" ”
The resident didn't speak, for the dark muzzle of the gun made him speechless.
At that moment, a knight in golden armor walked over, each holding a Balance Holy Sword in his hand.
"Today, the Pope decrees that Porto Soli henceforth belongs to the Temple, not to the Warlords! This is the common wealth of the people, recognized by the 100,000 residents living in Port Sori! A knightly officer was reading a golden scroll.
At the same time, on the other side, Relo also began to announce the decree to the entire Soma country, and at the same time all the warlords received a notice.
Upon hearing this announcement, the inhabitants of Sori cheered, while the people of Soma were stunned, and the warlords were furious. (To be continued......)
